It all starts with a story.
This is mine.




About Me.
If you're here, you probably ran into me at a stand up show, film networking event, or you follow me on social media. I'm not an SEO specialist, so you're probably not here thanks to Google. However, if you are, welcome! Great Google skills!
What I AM is a writer, comedian, and actor. My training includes time at The Second City & IO Theater in Chicago, UCB in New York City, and Groundlings in Los Angeles. I've been taught by the best - SNL alums, sketch experts, and other people with other things on their resume that are quite impressive (trust me!). Throughout my studies, no one has told me to give up and get a real job, so I guess that's a good sign. Plus, I already have a real job that I would love to quit to pursue film full time - so if you're reading this and you want to pay me to write and be funny, please do not hesitate to reach out.
I write, produce, and co-created a dark comedy web series called My Death Co.. We blew our budget on fancy cameras and locations and had no money left over for marketing (lesson learned), so you've probably never seen it. There's a link at the top of the page if you want to check it out. It stars an amazingly talented actor/comedian named Jon Huck. He rules and also deserves your attention.
I also shower daily, didn't have a single cavity at my last dentist visit, and I proactively started going to therapy to better myself. These things may not seem at all related to filmmaking, but I've heard they help quite a bit in collaborative environments.
Check out my work. Watch my videos. Read my scripts. Or don't. That's up to you. Whatever you do, I hope you're having a rad day!
